In a major crackdown, the Amritsar Police ISI smuggling case has exposed a trans-border terror network. Acting on intelligence inputs, Amritsar Rural Police, along with central agencies, arrested five men from Kaler village, seizing a cache of weapons and ₹7.5 lakh in drug money at a checkpoint. The consignment was allegedly sent by a person named Rana, suspected to be linked with ISI-sponsored Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) operatives.
The five accused—Joban, Gora, Jaspreet, Sunny, and Shenshan—were caught with an AK-series assault rifle, 90 live rounds, two Glock pistols, six magazines, and the cash. During interrogation, they revealed that the consignment was ordered by Nav Pandori, a close aide of gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria.
According to SSP Maninder Singh, Rana had reportedly sent the weapons across the border via drone, strengthening suspicions of ISI and BKI involvement. The Amritsar Police ISI smuggling case is now being investigated further to uncover the full network.
In a related operation earlier, four drug smugglers were nabbed and 6.106 kg of heroin was recovered. Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar revealed that accused Sarabjeet Joban was the kingpin who had been identifying drone drop locations in India for a long time.
This marks one of the most critical breakthroughs for Punjab police in dismantling narco-terror links between Pakistan and local gangsters. The Amritsar Police ISI smuggling case highlights the dangerous nexus between terrorism and drug trafficking in border areas.
